Ghislaine Labelle has had years of personal experience and exposure to conflict resolution, and she brings great insight to MBA students ensrolled in Managing a Small Business Enterprise program at McGill University. Her style and vast knowledge, seamlessly combined in her presentation, had a significant impact on the MBA students. The discussions that are engendered are always lively and to the point.
